Easter Egg Hunt

Dick's Market had a free Easter egg hunt on Saturday so we walked over to see how Jayda would like it. Holidays are so much more exciting now that we have her around. I feel like it is better than when I was experiencing it as a kid. This is before we left the house. She was just excited to be going on a walk and had no clue what she was getting into.
The Easter Bunny came out to say hi right before it started and she was going crazy trying to get to him, so we took her over so she could say hi. I love her look of excitement in this picture. There is no fear with this girl. Bryce and I give the credit for that to my brother Landon. He lives in our basement and he will sneak up the stairs and growl and try to scare her but she just thinks it's funny. It's hard to be afraid of big furry animals when you have grown up with one. ;)
They asked us to let the little kids go by themselves if they could walk so I let her go, but she wasn't quite getting the concept. She just walked around and looked at everything. Occasionally she would pick something up, look at it and then put it back down. Once I got in there to help her out she started to understand she needed to put the candy and eggs in her basket.


After the hunt they did pictures with the Easter Bunny. Once again we could barely keep her back while we waited in line. She was squirming to get down and kept saying "munny, munny". When it was her turn we put her down and she walked up to him with her arms outstretched and let him pick her right up. She loved him so much, she was touching his chin and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She would have hung out with the Easter Bunny all day if she could have.


After the hunt we went to Nanny and Papa's house to tell them about it and show them the pictures. All of us had been up late the night before so it was time for a nap shortly after that.

It was so nice to spend a Saturday as a family. I am grateful for these days when Bryce isn't working and we can make the most of it. After our naps we went to Shantaye and Mike's house for a BBQ and then to a movie. It wasn't a very productive day but I am actually happy for that.
